This bb! What a challenge! Not because of the labor. Because of the lack of trees in my area. Normal firewood species of trees are processed quickly and in high demand. Green still sometimes! That leaves little old me with so-called garbage wood; aspens. I only had one dead-standing aspen in my yard, so I had to reach out to the community to neighbors who had dead-standing trees they were willing to let me harvest. 28 trees is what it took for 1/2 a face cord!
Because all the trees were from peoples yards, I then had to tidy up all the branches and help get them hauled away or burned.
I chose to stack them in an old pump house that still stands on a new piece of property I bought a few years back, so they would have a roof.

The stack begins. You can use the 2x6 plank I laid them upon for easy reference to see that they all line up nicely
